Convert newton to poundal
Newton
The newton (symbol: N) is the SI unit of force, named after Sir Isaac Newton. One newton is the force needed to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at one metre per second squared (1 N = 1 kgĀ·m/sĀ²). Roughly the weight of a small (100 g) apple under standard gravity, it is the base unit used throughout physics and engineering to express force, weight and thrust.
Poundal
The poundal (pdl) is a unit of force in the footāpoundāsecond (FPS) absolute system, defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one pound-mass at a rate of one foot per second squared. One poundal is equal to approximately 0.138255 newtons, making it considerably smaller than the pound-force. Unlike the pound-force, the poundal does not depend on the local gravitational acceleration, making it an absolute unit. It was introduced in the 19th century to provide a coherent absolute unit system analogous to the CGS dyne.
